    The Arylate Carbon fibers are located closer to the core than with non-layer blades, which leads to a softer touch and stunning feel.

    Arylate-Carbon fibers dampen vibration and allow for dynamic play and precise placement.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as an ideal balance-type racket for transitioning from wooden rackets. The characteristic of feeling like wood on soft shots and benefiting from carbon flex on powerful shots is supported by a wide range of users from beginners to advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Best of both worlds: wood feel on soft shots, carbon flex on power shots
    • Excellent combination of spin and speed, especially powerful drives
    • Easy handling unique to inner rackets for touch shots and blocking
    • Great compatibility with tension-type rubbers like Tenergy
    • Versatility usable by everyone from intermediate to advanced players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveI can't forget the excitement when I switched from a wooden racket. The balance is excellent. With inner rackets basically all back rubbers work. I've never seen a tournament where this racket wasn't used.
    ▽ CriticalThe price is a bit high - the official retail price of 16,500 yen feels expensive. Since there's no standout performance, there may be cases where users become dissatisfied.

      Butterfly Lover (Experience: Less than a year) Amazing.

      Player reviews

      For starters, it basically matches with any rubber.
      It's easy to put spin on, and it generates speed — just the best.
      Personally, I think the feel is amazing.

      Life is table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Truly wonderful!

      Player reviews

      I honestly think this blade is perfect.
      On serves, you can really rip the spin!
      Drives are solid and stable, very easy to hit! Loop drives especially get tons of spin, so you can hit really good loop drives!
      As for speed, the arylate carbon lets you hit fast, powerful smashes! If you want even more speed, pairing it with a speed-oriented rubber should make it perfect.

      Teeburu Tenisu (Experience: 4〜5 years) The best

      Player reviews

      The best blade in every respect — spin, control, and speed. It's an ALC blade, yet it still generates real speed. Even if you lose a match, it makes you feel like it's your own skill that's lacking, not the blade's quality. It's genuinely a great blade.

      Easy to use.
      The ball leaves the blade a bit quickly.
      Fast shots.
      Good amount of spin.
      Good control.
      Really recommend it!

      Shako-nii (Experience: 4〜5 years) This thing's insane

      Player reviews

      When I first tried it, I felt a bit of "huh?" strangeness, but as I kept using it I fell for its overwhelming performance,
      and now I can handle it well.
      If you're going to debut with a high-end blade, I'd recommend this one.
      It really grips the ball firmly ^^

      pingpong dude (Experience: 11〜20 years) Super easy to use!

      Player reviews

      Honestly, I'm surprised at just how easy this is to use lol
      The feel is great, and the bounce sits right in between wood and composite — just right.
      I used to use the Jun Mizutani blade, but since switching to this one, my consistency over the table, in rallies, and on third-ball attacks has
      improved a lot. Also, serves are just so easy to put spin on! Being able to swing with confidence is another great point!
      There's not a single technique that's hard to pull off lol If you ever feel like there is one, it makes you think it's your own skill that's lacking rather than any
      flaw in the blade! It's a blade you can win matches with.

      Okamaru This racket is insane

      Player reviews

      Right off the bat, this blade is insane.
      The ball stays on it for a long time, yet it still flexes and flies well.
      For an ALC blade, the feel is soft, like it takes the best parts of a 5-ply wood blade
      and combines them with ALC.
      There's nothing that's hard to do with this blade — if anything, everything is easy. I put Hurricane Neo 3 and Xiang Long on it, and tacky rubbers match great too.
      I really want people to try this blade out.
